The self proclaimed 'Human Headline' Derryn Hinch has had his recent elevation to the Australian Senate over shadowed with the news that he is still drinking alcohol despite receiving a liver transplant in 2011.

The former TV host has admitted that he still indulges his passion for wine under doctor's orders, and says that the story is little more than a "beat up" after he recently split with his much younger partner Natasha Chadwick, who announced that Hinch is off the wagon on her Twitter account.

In July this year Hinch posted this picture on his Facebook page celebrating five years since his life saving transplant operation.
